Influence of Weather on Sugar Content of Forage Crops1

J. G. Archibald

Dairy and Animal Science Department, Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station, Amherst

ABSTRACT

Data from 72 lots of forage were submitted to statistical analysis to ascertain the relationships between their total sugar content and certain weather phenomena previous to harvest. Calculated values of r showed a significant inverse relationship between sugar content and average air temperature, slightly significant correlation between sugar content and rainfall, (P = .05), and little or no correlation with exposure to bright sunshine. The results are discussed in the light of the findings of other workers, and their possible practical significance is indicated.
